The priorities in my Department in respect of road traffic legislation have been focused on the safe passage of both the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017 and the Vehicle Registration Data (Automated Searching and Exchange) Bill 2018 through both houses of the Oireachtas. While the latter Bill has passed all stages, the Road Traffic (amendment) Bill 2017 remains in Report and Final
In addition, I have asked my officials to commence work on a road traffic bill to provide for graduated penalties for speeding offences. Consolidation of the Road Traffic Acts may ultimately require an element of outsourcing but this has yet to be fully examined.
